Well, this thread turned into an interesting example. (grin)
As for the "if everyone had a gun" meme, checkout Vice, episode 1, ASSASSINATION NATION on HBO.
http://youtu.be/h0IYXxqwjDAThat it did, and that's an interesting video... but it's also worth noting that how people are raised will make a massive impact on what they do. Ex. if people are born in war-torn countries, they will be less impacted by death and such and those that are born in areas where killing is taboo.
THIS is what is wrong with these forums.
and go start your own gun control thread in the Off Topic section if you really must continue the argument.
